Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar with Q&A

Conducted on Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Recorded event now available

This CLE webinar will address the impact of the MF Global and other FI bankruptcies and recent market trends and actions being taken to provide additional collateral protection for investors, hedge funds, and financial institutions.

Description

In the post-Lehman and MF Global environment, certain investors and financial institutions are taking a second look at how to sufficiently protect their collateral/assets in the event of a counterparty’s insolvency.

Investors posting collateral under swaps and other financial contracts and assets are considering the benefits of posting certain collateral with third-party custodians.

In addition, financial institutions are providing assurances that the assets of their investors will continue to be properly protected when held directly with their institutions.

Listen as our authoritative panel of attorneys discusses the continued integrity of the asset protection systems in the U.S. and the importance for financial institutions to maintain properly perfected liens and control over their collateral even in this changing environment.
